Overall Satisfaction with Genesys Engage (formerly PureEngage)

Certified Languages International (CLI) utilizes Pureconnect (CIC) to support and facilitate our Over the Phone Interpretation (OPI) services and support our Video Real-time Interpretation (VRI) services. CIC's ease of customization and management allows us to customize our voice systems to suit our business needs instead of modifying the business to meet our phone system. CIC is at the very core of our entire business model. It touches every aspect of our day to day operations. CIC faces both the internal employees and our customers and contract interpreters.

We use it to log on and log off our OPI interpreters, keep track of interpretation sessions, collect billing data, and facilitate the communications between our customers and our deep bench of interpreters. We leverage SOAP and custom objects in CIC to track our VRI interpreters as well.

We utilize ACD for call distribution to our Customer Service Representatives (CSR)s and Optimizer added to CIC to handle scheduling volumes for the same giving our customers a high degree of satisfaction. The deep integration with Structured Query Language (SQL) databases allows us to customize our data for billing and reports with off the shelf tools, saving us both time and money.

The ingrained ease of programming and modification allows us to quickly customize our product offerings to meet our customer's needs and expectations. We have added products ranging from complete SIP to SIP data interchange for billing information, language selection and customized customer info to customized Auto Attendant menus that are data-driven vs. hand-built solutions.

Self-serve customer options via IWP and scheduled reports allow us to provide data access to specific types of queries and recordings for use by the customer without bogging down our staff with requests allowing them to be more productive in day to day operations. The wonderful thing about CIC is how complete, easy to use, and robust the platform is. Honestly, it outshines the Myriad other platforms we could have went down the wrong path with.
  • Automated call distribution.
  • Data integration and reporting.
  • Real time monitoring of users, Lines, Line Queues, and subsystems.
  • Easy to use programming interface and tools for customization.
  • Easy to understand strait forward documentation with examples.
  • Homogeneous System Setup and administrative tools.
  • Switch over!!!!, an Active-Active Server configuration vs. the current active-passive (Primary/Secondary) is outdated given the state of the industry. Allowing for multiple CIC servers, Primary, and multiple secondaries would be ideal! Multi-site is a bit clunky and not engineering/administratively friendly or even full-featured.
  • Out of the box robust Bulls Eye routing.
  • Expansion of the IceLib to more areas of the system with deeper hooks.
CIC is best suited for business models that rely on heavily leverage Data Integration especially one like ours that require real-time and high-speed data access for billing and customer integration.

CIC is not well suited for small organizations < 50 where they are only answering phones in the course of doing business VS. the business is the phone.

  • Customization capability
  • Data Integration
  • Ease of use.
  • Integration with a database of several thousand interpreters that makes outbound connections to them and our customers and connects them together
  • The use of UUI and customized SIP headers to allow re-sellers to utilize our services. So billing and re-branding happen seamlessly. Identification of the re-seller, their desired language for translation, custom billing fields and more are transferred real time in the invite of the call. That allows use to perform call treatments based on the re-seller and even on a particular customer of theirs.
